Degussa increases prices for Matting Agents

(Frankfurt, 15.10.2004)

Business Unit Advanced Fillers & Pigments will increase its prices for ACEMATT^® TS 100 and ACEMATT^® OP 278 by 3 % and for all other matting agents by 5 % on November 1st, 2004. Costs for raw materials, energy, labour and transportation have kept increasing and reached now an extent that Degussa is no longer in a position to absorb despite intensive cost management efforts and improved efficiencies in its production.

Business unit Advanced Fillers & Pigments operates 30 plants in 18 countries and is the only one supply source manufacturing carbon blacks (rubber and pigment blacks), performance silica and rubber silanes. As a specialist in surface chemistry and physics, it focuses on the production and application of carbon blacks, performance silica, matting agents and rubber silanes.
